dc.description.abstractA poster presentation regarding serum digoxin concentrations. Introduction: Digoxin, as a treatment option in cardiology, is limited by its narrow therapeutic index. • Current European Society of Cardiology (ESC) guidelines provide a Class 1 Level of Evidence B recommendation for digoxin in atrial fibrillation, and classify it as a treatment of uncertain benefit in heart failure. • Clinical guidelines recommend targeting a serum digoxin concentration (SDC) between 0.5 and 0.9 ng/ml, or <1.0 ng/ml. Aims: • To determine the number of patients on digoxin in Malta • To analyse SDCs recorded at Mater Dei Hospital (MDH) • To determine adherence to the clinically recommended target SDC • To assess queries concerning digoxin processed by the Drug Information Unit (DIU) at MDHen_GB
